While in the Army, I had the opportunity to train with a few martial arts experts in the Denver area and was particularly impressed by the common sense and efficiency of Krav Maga. A few years, and even more gained weight, later I decided that I would look into joining a Krav Maga gym. After participating in a free introductory class at a few local Krav Maga gyms, I felt like Fusion Combat in Denver was the best fit for me. The staff does a great job describing each technique, the reason for each move, how to modify in order not to seriously hurt your training partner, and even when to show restraint in order to avoid criminal prosecution. The intensity of the instructors is tamed by their desire to help you improve. They are as no-nonsense as the intense and sometimes brutal self-defense that they teach. I particularly like how they use different drills to simulate the stress of a fight/altercation. There simply the best Krav Maga and kickboxing gym in the Denver metro area, and membership options allows just about anyone to train. I have personally attended the kickboxing, Muay Thai, and other Jiu Jitsu classes and have lost 15 lbs in the last few months. If you want to learn how to defend yourself and your loved ones, gain confidence, and get a seriously ass-kicking workout this is the place for you.
